Gwyneth Stevens works for a branch of the government in charge of solving paranormal crimes. While investigating a series of hellhound killings, Gwen visits Mr. Pallo, the vampire who owns Necro's Magik World & Supernatural Theme Park. Oddly, Pallo seems to recognize Gwen, and she mysteriously, knows things about Pallo that she shouldn't know. What is their connection? What does Pallo have to do with the hellhound murders? Why is Gwen suddenly a target of evil magik? By the end of the novel, Gwen knows who she is and her connection to the supernatural world. There is a lot of action squeezed into this 170 page novel. The protagonists fight as best they can against an amorphous and ever-changing evil, not always succeeding. When they think they've beaten it, the evil comes back in another form. This is definitely an erotic novel, with some very violent scenes. There are several graphic sex scenes, one of which is a ménage à trois. While interesting, I felt the novel was almost too complex, requiring a lot of work on the reader's part to follow and understand the plot. This is the sort of novel you save for a rainy day when you have several hours at a time to devote to it. -- Jean, Fallen Angel Reviews (courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews)
One of the best books I've read this year
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I've never read a book written in the first person before and I wasn't sure how I would like it. Well Mandy Roth has changed my mind about books written in the first person. This book is also unique in that all of the books in the series will be from the heroine Gwen's point of view. DOD is full of action, suspense and HOT love scenes. Ms Roth creates a believable and vivid love triangle between Gwen, Pallo and Caleb. You can understand why Gwen is having a hard time choosing between the two men and you find yourself having that same dilemma as well! Although I do have my favorite! While at times it can be dark, Ms Roth manages to inject plenty of humor throughout the book.
An AMAZING series!!

It's been a long time since I've read anything so orginal. Not only were there great relationships, but there was plenty of action. I really enjoy a book that has a plot and not just 'all about the romance'.
An absolutely fabulous book!!

In modern day America, creatures that go bump in the night exist only in books and movies, right? Wrong. The streets are crawling with supernatural predators. Gwyneth Stevens works for a local branch of the government that specializes in controlling and maintaining supernatural creatures. When a rash of hellhound related homicides sends Gwen searching for clues, she comes face to face with Pallo, the Master Vampire who owns Necro's Magik World & Supernatural Theme Park. What she doesn't realize is that she and Pallo share a past, and only he can help her discover who she really is. DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS will mesmerize readers who revel in a paranormal story. Ms. Roth's realistic and chilling descriptions of those who possess supernatural powers makes me believe that these people and creatures might actually be walking on this earth. Gwen , Pallo and Caleb are engaging characters, whose lives are explained in such detail, that I feel I actually know these people. Gwen is unsure of herself at times, as she has many decisions to make that will effect others. Pallo and Caleb are two powerful men, both of whom care deeply for Gwen. The sex is very intense, especially if a lust spell is involved. There is even a clever touch of humor sprinkled throughout the book. If you are looking for a story with romance, supernatural elements, a suspenseful plot, and characters that literally jump off the page, then this is definitely the book for you." Amelia Richard, eCataRomance reviews Mandy M. Roth has written a story I found very exciting. There is never a dull moment. The sexual exploits between the trio will have you grabbing your own partner or taking a cold shower. There are some very graphic scenes in this story that are not for the faint of heart. I found this story to be most intriguing and look forward to more." Diane T., The Romance Studio "Mandy M. Roth writes a dark paranormal with intriguing characters and a few surprises along the way...if you like your stories with a little bite to them, then DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS is the book to read."
